The Disconnect by Keren David

In this book we meet Ester and we see how her and her best friend Natalie as well as their crushes Tom and River as well as the rest of their school all partake in a challenge to ditch their phones and earn themselves a thousand pounds!

Only the woman behind the idea may be using the project to make teens rely even more on technology rather than doing less like they try.

After finding new hobbies and use of her time as well as being the victim of a mugging due to a phone argument it makes her feel more free than feeling paranoid people don't like her approve her clothes etc...

This book is relevant to now in a time when it seems people always have to be on their phone apps doing something this book highlights just how damaging they can be but also how nothing is as it seems a lot of the time too.

Between The Lies by Cathy MacPhail

Abbie is the outsider at school, relatively new to the school.

When Judith or Jude disappears suddenly and doesn't return home, her parents worry and the school is buzzing with talk of what could've happened to her. Andrea, Tracey and Belinda, her so called best friends keeps posting on social media messages they hope Judith will see.

Then comes a huge shock development, Abbie gets a text, from Jude herself saying she wants to come home.

Nobody understands why she contacted Abbie the outcast student she hasn't ever talked to let alone swap numbers with.

But that's not it, when a shocking twist revelation comes out everyone turns their respect for Abbie and her campaigning to find Jude to hatred at what she's accused of, keeping Jude away deliberately.

Then texts from an Unknown number start sending Abbie wild with worry and paranoia, no one will help her and no one will believe she's in danger.

Don't trust your so called friends, they just might hold the answers in this case...

Cathy can't half write amazing mysteries and thrillers they are always super and never fail to deliver. I was hooked on this book and finished it in two hours it was that gripping. There's plenty of twists to keep you guessing and packed full of action its unput down able!
